I have a bright and bold thank you card for you today! Oh, how I love the look of these black stems (created with the Stampin’ Up! Flourish Thinlits Dies – one of My Favorite Things) against the splash of Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie.
Today’s Paper Paper Sketch Challenge (PPA306) was a design submitted by ME! Check out what the rest of the PPA Design Team created with this sketch and play along here.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Perfect every time! I cropped the Melon Mambo squares with one of the Stampin’ Up! Layering Squares Framelits Dies. They are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals for a 3-D look.
- “Thank you” is from Thankful Thoughts stamp set, one of My Favorite Things from the Stampin’ Up! 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.
- The black pearl accent was easy to create with one of the Pearl Basic Jewels and a black Sharpie.
